Truly outstanding, thank you extremely. I spent weeks trying and failing to find decent tutorials, and ended up figuring most of this out on my own. Somehow this is now at the top of google and i swear it wasn’t there before. This tutorial taught me quite a few ne tricks though, like moving a joint by moving the pivot point in free transform mode. you cannot fathom how much time that has saved me.

I’m making a game right now which depends to a large extent on Ik armatures, this tutorial is a godsend

Come on, in the end, its a cr***y animation instead of something really interactive. A piece of wood combined with some strings would be more interesting. Maybe the Author admits, that in the beginning he wanted to build it as a simulation, where you can pull the string.
Why is it so hard to make a tutorial about doing something interactive with flash?

David, thanks for this, it was my first exposure to the bone tool and you speak clearly and intelligently, a true teacher. Coming from a developer background, sometimes the lines of communication between designer and developer become a bit confused but you saved the day. Thanks!
